Key Bindings

PC

These commands are for a standard QWERTY Keyboard layout with the standard download. Steam users may find a few differences. The screen shot key will place a picture of the game (without the in mission UI) to the "captures" folder: "C:Program Files (x86)\Warframe\Downloaded\Public\Captures" for standard users. Steam users will find them in the "captures" folder: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Warframe\Captures". Sometimes they are saved in "C:\Users\<Username>\Pictures\Warframe".

Notes

If you have trouble finding your pictures from the screenshot key (F6) try one of these folders:

/Users/[User Name]/My Pictures/Warframe

/Users/[User Name]/Saved Games/My Pictures/Warframe

If you are running Warframe through Steam, F12 functions as print-screen button.

The command "Reply to last message" (/r msg) was removed in one of the game updates in favor of the tabbed chat style.
